Tab-separated values format
You can convert or export tab-separated values files.
To import tab-separated values files, use the Custom-separated values format and specify Tab as the field delimiter.
Converting tab-separated values files
- You can choose whether FileMaker Pro uses a specified row of data in the file as field names.
- All fields are text fields.
Exporting tab-separated values files
FileMaker Pro exports plain text. (The exported file does not include font and style information.) The tab character separates fields, the carriage return character separates records.
- Tabs in fields are converted to spaces.
- Carriage return characters in a field export as vertical tab characters.
- Values in repeating fields are separated by the group separator character.
